Xerox 5550 用户指南

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. Other media types can cause 
poor print quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer. 

If you use pre-printed material regularly, the feed rollers may require additional 

cleaning.

The following are examples of unacceptable paper:

■

Rough or porous media

■

Plastic media other than supported transparencies

■

Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

■

Padded envelopes

■

Non-laser glossy or coated paper

■

Paper that has been photocopied

■

Paper with cutouts or perforations

■

Paper with staples inserted

■

Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, adhesives with release strips, or side seams

Use only Xerox transparency film. Other types of transparency film can melt and 

damage the printer.

Using paper free of contaminants helps guarantee longer component life and better 

print quality. Paper with better cut quality also reduces paper jams and misfeeds.

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum 
print quality.

■

Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to 
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun 
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of 
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

■

Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

■

Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than 
outside walls where moisture can collect. 

■

Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

■

Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

■

Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. 
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream 
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

■

Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the 
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic 
bags.
